[Frank Fisher <yellowtr3@yahoo.com>]

having lost tall brass nuts 3 times in 3 years, i changed to steel nuts
doubled. 
so far no more exhaust noise. well not the nasty noise, just the
sweet roar.

Ditto.  I found the tall brass
nuts on one of those "Help!" racks, in a
package of 3 nuts and 3 studs. 
Apparently some Chevy V8s use them on the
exhaust manifold to headpipe joint.
But I prefer the original steel nuts, with a smear of copper-based
anti-seize
on the threads (in place of the original copper plate).
